Demand compact crossovers is growing steadily every year, so today the car market offers a wide variety of all-terrain vehicles. Japanese, Korean, German, Chinese... Among the Chinese there are plenty front-wheel drive models, referred to by many car enthusiasts as “SUVs”, since for the most part they are ideal for the city, but completely unsuitable for off-road use. Thanks to affordable price there is considerable demand for them, and one of these SUVs that deserves close attention is the Lifan X50. The crossover with the X50 index first debuted at the Beijing motor show in 2014 - in the same year it reached Russian market, where it is still sold to this day. Read all the details about it in our review!

Design

From a design point of view, the X50 strongly resembles the Celliya sedan, which left Russia not long ago and, apparently, has no intention of returning yet. The appearance of the crossover is quite nice: from the front the car looks a little like European subcompact models Opel Corsa and Mokka, and at the back it brings back memories of Italian brand Alfa Romeo. The “off-road” potential is expressed in the presence of roof rails, corrugated “protective” inserts on the front and rear bumper, as well as in a “edging” of unpainted plastic around the perimeter of the body and in a raised ground clearance - roughly speaking, we're talking about O standard package for life in the “urban jungle”.

According to some sources, ground clearance here it is 208 mm, according to others - 185 mm, but the ubiquitous tape measure will certainly reveal the truth - in fact, it is only 172 mm. Other passenger cars have more - for example, the domestic four-door Lada Vesta. Overall, the X50 looks good: against the backdrop of more expensive competitors it doesn’t look out of place at all (it only pales in comparison to very expensive ones), and only a sophisticated motorist will recognize it as “Asian”, so in the turbulent city traffic of a large metropolis it always looks like one of its own, and not a stranger.

Design

The foundation of the X50 is a platform familiar from Lifan Celliya with McPherson struts at the front and a semi-independent beam at the rear, without a stabilizer lateral stability. This design makes it possible to grip the road tenaciously and avoid strong rolls when cornering. Of course, you don’t feel the low center of gravity here, which is typical for a car with a sporty character, but the rolls really aren’t scary. On “waves” the car does not have the ability to “float” or “sag”. Generally speaking, the “Chinese” behaves very well. Due to the use of a “trolley,” the Celliya X50 turned out to be quite small: it reaches 4.1 m in length, 1.722 m in width, and 1.54 m in height. The distance between the wheel axles is the same as that of the donor sedan - 2 .55 m, and the trunk volume is almost 2 times less - only 280 liters (more than Nissan Juke, but less than Renault Sandero Stepway). There is no need to be upset about this, because after folding the rear sofa the volume luggage compartment The X50 just gets to the Celliya volume. By the way, the back of the sofa in a four-door can be folded in parts, but in a crossover it can only be folded completely.

Adaptation to Russian conditions

Adaptation of X50 to Russian conditions was not carried out, as is the case with many other models from the Middle Kingdom. The explanation here is simple: it is not beneficial for anyone to specially prepare a car for operation in Russia, when in China it is sold a certain number of times better than in our country. That's why the X50 has a modest ground clearance and no all-wheel drive as an alternative. But it does have a full-size spare wheel, albeit incorrectly placed in the trunk with its bulge upwards, and there is also a full road kit, which includes wires for “lighting up” and a tire compressor, and also has anti-corrosion coating lower part of the body and steel engine crankcase protection. Only the seats on the 1st row and exterior mirrors are heated, and the steering wheel and heated windshield not at all.

Comfort

When you sit behind the wheel, you immediately pay attention to the upper edge of the rim, which is blocked by part of the instruments. The instruments are equipped with scarlet backlighting, which does not really match the soft, leisurely character of the X50. On dashboard there is a lot of information, but the symbols are smaller than we would like. Information has to be changed using an inconveniently located button, sticking your hand through the rim of the steering wheel. Built into the roof of the top version panoramic sunroof, which when opened gives a lot of additional head space. It won’t blow your head out, since at the moment of opening a special shield is raised. True, there will be more noise in the cabin, but what can’t you tolerate for the sake of a feeling of freshness and freedom? The X50's sound insulation itself is good, you can't fault it.

Interior finishing materials are inexpensive: hard plastic on the dashboard, and fabric or slippery leatherette on the seats. The seating position in the front seats is “Chinese”, i.e. obviously not for tall people, and the “gallery” is only conditionally 3-seater - in fact, there is enough space for 3 children or 2 adult passengers. Another sign of “Chineseness” is, of course, the smell in the cabin, where would we be without it? But the price! Again in Chinese reasonable price justifies everything. An interesting solution is pockets “written” on the sides of the center console, just like Celliya. Any of them is perfect for a small glass or bottle, or for a smartphone.

The X50 is equipped with 2 front airbags and child locks. rear doors, a system for automatically unlocking front doors upon impact and a buzzer that notifies the driver of unfastened seat belts or exceeding speed limit at 120 km/h. Rear view camera - a privilege top-end configuration. The image from the camera is quite clear, for which the manufacturer from China honestly deserves a plus. No reputable organization has conducted crash tests of the X50, so its reliability can only be judged by the predecessor of its “donor” Celliya, called Breeze. It is known that the Lifan Breeze participated in crash tests using the Chinese C-NCAP method (less severe tests compared to the European Euro NCAP) and earned a failure in them. It is possible that in the case of the X50, the design was significantly improved and safety indicators were significantly improved, but if the safety of yourself and your passengers comes first, then you should keep the Breeze crash tests in mind.

By default, the X50 comes with a CD/MP3 audio system with 4 speakers and AUX/USB connectors for connection mobile devices, and in the “top” it is joined by a color touchscreen with navigation, Bluetooth, rear video view and control buttons on the steering wheel. Image on touch display It is clearly visible even in sunny weather, the performance is ok, and the sound is quite tolerable. The system integrates seamlessly with both Androids and Apples. In general, everything is fine, only the multimedia control buttons have an unfortunate location on the steering wheel and very inopportunely fall under the driver’s fingers.

Lifan X 50 Technical characteristics

The one and a half liter unit under the hood can be considered modern: it has 4 cylinders in a row, 16 valves and variable phase technology VVT valve timing with phase shifters. According to Lifan, the “four” LF479Q2-B was developed jointly with the masters of the British engineering company Ricardo. Such an engine, judging by the “passport”, develops 103 hp. at 6000 rpm and 133 Nm at 3500-4500 rpm, but in practice it does not reach peak torque at 3500 rpm. In fact in fact low revs he is “dead” and for the sake of better dynamics it needs to be constantly “twisted”, which, of course, affects acoustic comfort and fuel appetite, and the average appetite is from 6.3 to 6.5 liters. per 100 km, depending on the selected gearbox (the “certified” consumption is not much different from the real one). There are 2 gearboxes to choose from - a five-speed manual and a CVT (CVT). The engine is unpretentious when it comes to the quality of gasoline: although the manufacturer recommends filling the small 42-liter tank with 95-grade gasoline, the engine can easily handle 92-grade gasoline.

By external characteristics Lifan X50 is similar to an expensive SUV from the world's best companies, down to the millimeter. So expensive appearance The model was created thanks to the passion for ground clearance. Another highlight that harmoniously fits into the design concept is the optics, made in modern style « angel eyes", like popular models BMW brand. The bumper geometry is very clear and streamlined, giving the Lifan X 50 more European style.

The rear view of the car is very neat and slightly smaller than the front. This effect was achieved thanks to successful design solution with U-door insert cargo compartment. Lifan X50 is the best option for those who love stylish and clearly defined modern cars.

New interior in Lifan X50

If you listen to the reviews of those who have already bought the Lifan X50 crossover, then the Chinese developers have done a great job of changing and improving interior decoration car. The most successful and worthy of attention became part dashboard, which is performed in a bold sporty style using recessed buttons. The tachometer with a red background perfectly emphasizes the modernity and aggressiveness of the model, and steering wheel acquired such a convenient innovation as audio system control buttons.

Besides, new crossover very roomy and comfortable in both the front and rear seats. The cabin can accommodate 4 to 5 people. Volume luggage compartment amounted to 570 l. The rear seats can be folded down easily, allowing for more trunk space if necessary. So we can say with confidence that the price of Lifan X 50 is completely justified.

Its distinctive design looks great both in the urban jungle and off paved roads. Stylish chrome radiator grille with narrow sections, powerful wing-shaped wide-angle headlights on a black base, LED daytime running lights running lights and a trapezoidal air intake grille with wide sections - all this gives the crossover a fashionable and slightly aggressive appearance. And the sporty body contours, streamlined side panels and two-tone ten-spoke cast aluminum wheels hint that this car is capable of a good shot at a traffic light.

The Lifan X 50 received a lightweight and at the same time high-strength body, 42% of the body panels of which are made of high-strength steel and equipped with programmable deformation zones, which allows the most efficient absorption and distribution of collision energy to the sides of the vital interior space. However The best way Avoiding the serious consequences of an accident means not getting into one at all. Therefore, the crossover received a stable chassis developed by BritishMIRA specialists. It improves the vehicle's ride stability and handling.

This car is like other models Chinese brand, was built according to the principles of the most rational use of space. Wheelbase 2550 mm provides sufficient space for passengers in both the first and second rows. In the rear of the crossover there is room for a luggage compartment with a volume of 570 liters. You can load four standard suitcases here at once. If you fold the second row of seats, you get 1480 liters, which is enough even to transport an entire refrigerator.

An inexpensive crossover appeared on our market in the summer of 2015. However, annual sales are not large. Therefore, it is not easy to notice a car in the general flow of cars. However, relative to others Chinese cars, Lifan X50 is popular in its narrow segment.

The compact crossover in China was created according to an already tested scheme. Usually the manufacturer takes a small hatchback, increases the ground clearance, puts protective plastic all around and general car ready. The Chinese took for their new model small sedan Lifan Celliya (Lifan 530) cut off back increased the ground clearance, changed the front end, a little plastic and the car was ready. Naturally, the engine and gearbox are from the same Lifan 530. The model is assembled at the Derways plant in Cherkessk, like most models Chinese brand in Russia. Own Lifan plant in Lipetsk they were never completed due to the crisis.

Appearance Lifan X50 It’s difficult to call it outstanding. Large radiator grille, large headlights with LED elements, DRLs. There are roof rails on the roof. But the actual ground clearance turns out to be less than stated. Actually this is visible to the naked eye. In general, the exterior is typically Chinese, something was borrowed here, something there. According to Russian dealers, the system of painting and body treatment has been improved at the request of workers. The thickness of the paintwork has been increased, and there will be fewer problems with saffron marks and rust. Since the entire body is now in mandatory immersed in a cataphoresis bath. That is, your original appearance The crossover should last at least several years. Actually, the dimensions of the body slightly exceed 4 meters. See photos of the car below.

Salon Lifan X 50 typically Chinese. Not very ergonomic chairs, low quality plastic, and the “leather” leaves much to be desired. Although visually the center console, steering wheel, and instrument panel look harmonious and quite decent. But as always, little things spoil the whole impression. For example, the steering wheel can only be adjusted by tilt angle. It will no longer be possible to pull the steering wheel towards you. The wheelbase is only just over 2.5 meters, so rear passengers frankly cramped.

Photos of the Lifan X 50 salon

The trunk, after the “rejection” of the stern of the Lifan 530 sedan, turned out to be very small, only 280 liters. However, if you throw out the shelf and load it to the ceiling, then the volume increases to 570 liters. Can still be folded rear seats, and this is already a decent 1480 liters! There is also a full-size spare wheel.

Technical characteristics of Lifan X 50

IN technically hodgepodge machine. The Chinese actively use foreign technologies, sometimes not very successfully. In the case of the Lifan concern, the main donor here was Toyota company. Many Japanese solutions are also used in this Lifan.

Engine Lifan X 50, this is a 4 cylinder inline 16 valve motor series LF479Q2-B developing 103 hp. with a torque of 133 Nm. Volume power unit only 1.5 liters have a variable valve timing system. Most likely it's aluminum block cylinders and chain drive Timing belt (although the data is contradictory). For example, the new Solano 2 has a more recent development with cast iron block And timing belt. It is possible to find out more precisely only by opening it, since even the manufacturer himself has completely different data related to the difficulties of translation.

As a transmission, the front-wheel drive SUV received a 5-speed manual (14A5/LD515MF-2) and a continuously variable CVT variator(RDC 15-FB) as a machine gun. The suspension is quite energy-intensive - independent MacPherson strut at the front, and semi-independent at the rear (deformable beam). There are disc brakes on all wheels, and they are naturally ventilated at the front. The steering mechanism is rack and pinion with electric amplifier.

The ground clearance, which is officially stated, is 185 mm. However, if you arm yourself with a tape measure, then there is only a little more than 160 mm under the protection of the engine sump. Below are more detailed technical information about the model.
